Well, I haven't been on Pinterest much but I do have a few pins to share this week.

First of all I forgot to tell you guys that I made something inspired by a Pin last weekend. I made a pretty wreath.
 
Here is the wreath that I found on Pinterest (the tutorial link is under the picture)

And here is what mine turned out like! :) I had a lot of fun being creative and I really do like making wreaths too!

So, now to my pins. I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for fonts. So I found these two sites that offer FREE fonts for your computer. Check em out!

Then I found 2 cute Nail polish designs - Of course...and aren't they just so cute?! I wish I had the stuff to do the Christmas trees. I love abstract nail art!!! :)

I don't know about you, but I have a hard time with stocking stuffers. So I found 2 websites with Stocking Stuffer ideas!! Perfect for the holidays that are coming up! The one that is specific to men, also has other links to ideas for women too. :)

Holiday Blog Challenge - Day 3

Welcome to the Third day of Amber & Neely's Fabulous Holiday Blog Challenge!!  I will be blogging about one Holiday themed topic everyday for the next 2 weeks!! (11/28 -12/9)

If you want more information, or want to join the fun click HERE for more information.

Today's topic is: Holiday decorations/decor

I love the Christmas tree, it is my favorite decoration. My hubby has been putting ours up every year but I am there to help. I help him string the lights - yay for artificial trees that you can spin ;) But my favorite part is hanging all of the ornaments.


This could fall under tradition too, but every year we get each other an ornament. That is a tradition that was passed down from my family - my mom did that for my brother and I when we were little. So every ornament that I hang has some sort of memory attached. I love reliving the memories and it helps make the Holiday that much more fun! :)

Today's Topic is: Favorite holiday tradition, new or old

 There are so many to choose from!! Well, I am a sucker for the holidays so I am going to go with going to see Christmas lights. This is one from my childhood. (There aren't many Christmas lights in Arizona) 

When I was younger we used to go and see Christmas lights every year. One year in particular we went up to a neighborhood in Salt Lake City, UT and they had a whole block of houses that were decorated. You drove through the neighborhood and each house had a sign up that was part of the Christmas story. So by the time you went through the neighborhood you were able to read the whole nativity story. I wish they had something like that here in Arizona. I would love to go and look at lights like THAT again. :)

Today's topic is: Favorite gift EVER received

There are so many to choose from, the one that pops into my head first is the Karaoke machine that my parents bought me. I honestly can't remember if that was Christmas or birthday tho because the two are so close together. But I loved that karaoke machine. It has fun memories attached. I don't think I ever really used it for real karaoke but I remember using the mic to sing songs with my friend Rachel. :) 

Another gift that is closely tied to the karaoke machine was the blue Sapphire necklace and earrings that my hubby got me the first Christmas that we went out. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!! well tomorrow anyway - I hope everyone has something to be really thankful for this year. :)



I wasn't on Pinterest very much this week but it just figures that when I went to go and put this post together I ended up pinning new things instead. I guess I was going through withdrawal without even realizing it! HA!


All of these pins that I found this week are something that I would so make!! They are all easy and I plan on trying them ALL out!! :)



Food
mmmmm Sugar cookies!! These only call for like 3 ingredients and one of them is a cake mix! I am totally trying these!!! :)

Sugar Cookie Recipe

Tips & Tricks
I found a whole bunch of uses for Hydrogen Peroxide. I didn't realize how many things you could use it for. The first was a recipe for making your nails white. This quick paste is simply 1 Tbs Peroxide, 2.2 Tbs Baking Soda. Let this paste sit on your nails for 5 minutes, rise off and voila! White nails! There are also other uses linked below the picture. :)

Other uses for Peroxide

DIY Product
Next is a recipe for liquid soap. I have really been into making my own cleansers lately. I found a recipe for an eye makeup remover on Pinterest and made that a while back (Eye-Makeup Remover blog post) and ever since I'd much rather spend less and make stuff as simple as eye makeup remover or in this case, liquid hand soap!! This recipe uses 1 1/2 bars of grated soap and it makes 2 Liters of liquid soap! I think I must try this soap next! :)

Christmas
The next thing I found was a recipe for Cinnamon Applesauce dough. I had all but forgotten about this, but as soon as I found it the memories came flooding back. When I was little my mom had these ornaments on our Christmas tree. They weren't as fancy as Martha Stewart's, but I think the simplicity of them was great! I am so glad that I found this recipe! I think my Christmas tree must have some! :)

DIY - Jewelry
The last idea that I found was for a simple Pearl and Twine bracelet. I loved it!! It is definitely something that I could make fairly easily and love to wear it too! :)

Funnies

I found this cute picture of the tiny little kitten letting the big dog know who's boss! It so reminded me of my cat Rogue. When she was the new kitten in our house she stood up for herself against our other cat on their very first meeting. We knew that Rogue would have no problems taking charge. lol

Finally let's wrap up with some Wednesday Wisdom. "Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles; it empties today of its strength." ~ Mary Engelbreit

I think I needed this wisdom at the beginning of last week. lol That one is worth framing!
